John,
I used unsquashfs for stage2, edited usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py
changing the following lines.
("methodcomplete", doMethodComplete, ),
("dopostaction", doPostAction, ),
changed to;
("dopostaction", doPostAction, ),
("methodcomplete", doMethodComplete, ),
ran ksquashfs on the unsquashed stage2 and it worked fine! :)

# Do the following to fix the issue not running %post scripts:

yum -y install squashfs-tools mkisofs cdrecord
